told you so. bad design, private onramp to road

D: there is the liquor store mall at the corner of Northfield 'n King in Waterloo.
I arned about the onramp onto Northfield towards King.
I saw 2 cyclists get mashed by a car there in recent months.
The cars treat it like a highway on ramp.
The ogive encourages this.
The other side of the road lacks a sidewalk and is useless farther down, where there are turnoffs to a highway feed.
Cars don't look either way.
The onramp from the mall if both too wide, and with too generous an ogive.
It encourages pre-acceleration.

On a related note, there are any number of turns where the visual barriers, typically foliae, block useful line of site on both cars and pedestrian walks.

I'm just saying that non-public road design features require regulation too for safe public road use.
